Dec 07, 2011

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Tech senior guard Scott
Schweitzer has been named to the FCS All-America team for 2011
selected by College Sports Madness, a national website that covers
and promotes collegiate athletics.

Schweitzer wrapped up his career last month by playing a major
role for an offense that led the way for Tech to capture its first
Ohio Valley Conference championship in 36 years. He was a
first-team all-OVC selection.

With Schweitzer starting all 11 games, the Golden Eagles posted a
7-4 overall record and ranked among the OVC's top teams in total
offense, rushing offense and passing offense. He started 42 of
Tech's 45 games during his career, playing at three different
position. The only games her missed were due to injuries. After
opening his career at right guard as a redshirt freshman, he moved
to left tackle as a sophomore. He was the starter at left guard for
the past two years.

A four-year letterman and three-year starter at Centennial High
School in Alpharetta, Ga., Scott came to Tech after earning several
team awards while anchoring the offensive line, including team
captain. He was also an all-county pick.

The son of Chris and Kim Schweitzer, Scott is on schedule to
graduate in May with a degree in exercise science and physical
wellness.

Schweitzer becomes the 28th different Golden Eagle player to
receive All-America recognition. He is one of six players in the
OVC to be recognized by College Sports Madness.
